Given the agreement on the edk2-devel regarding the fact that the
notion whether or not a 'platform has ACPI' is a universal one, move
the PlatformHasAcpi GUID to MdeModulePkg.

In general, we should not present two separate (and inevitably different)
hardware descriptions to the OS, in the form of ACPI tables and a device
tree blob. For this reason, we recently added the logic to ArmVirtQemu to
only expose the ACPI 2.0 entry point if no DT binary is being passed, and
vice versa.
However, this is arguably a regression for those who relied on DT
descriptions being available, even if the former behavior can be
restored by passing the -no-acpi switch to QEMU.
So allow a secret handshake with the UEFI Shell, to set a variable that
will result in ACPI to be disabled on subsequent boots even if -no-acpi
was not passed on the QEMU command line.
setvar -nv -bs -guid 50bea1e5-a2c5-46e9-9b3a-59596516b00a ForceNoAcpi =01
To delete the variable and revert to the old situation, simply omit the
value after the =
setvar -nv -bs -guid 50bea1e5-a2c5-46e9-9b3a-59596516b00a ForceNoAcpi =

This will let QEMU's "-no-acpi" option exclusively expose DT vs. ACPI to
the guest. Showing both is never needed (it is actually detrimental to the
adoption of standards, such as SBSA / SBBR).

In addition, in the guest, the "/sys/firmware/devicetree/*" shell pattern
matches no files, while the "/sys/firmware/acpi/tables/*" pattern matches
the ACPI tables.

In addition, in the guest, the "/sys/firmware/devicetree/*" shell pattern
matches the directory "/sys/firmware/devicetree/base", which contains a
large number of DT nodes, while the "/sys/firmware/acpi/tables/*" pattern
matches no files.

This driver produces the EDKII Platform Has ACPI and Platform Has Device
Tree protocols, exactly matching the current ACPI / DT exposure on QEMU,
according to ARM vs. AARCH64, and (in the latter case) to PcdPureAcpiBoot.
